DEMS JUST WON’T ACCEPT PRESIDENT – NOW BASEBALL WON’T LET TRUMP THROW OUT FIRST PITCH

Now BASEBALL DOESN’T WANT TRUMP TO THROW OUT FIRST PITCH

Now, it’s major league baseball the American pastime that is disrespecting the office so long entwined with the sport. Trump doesn’t need that nor does baseball, whose overall attendance has remained stagnant for the past seven years. Can you imagine Obama being asked not to throw out the first pitch. No one dare broach such a request of the first black president but when it comes to President Trump, it’s all anti-Trump all the time…whether it’s the media going against every Trump appointee or new law, still trying to use the ‘Russian hack’ excuse to rationalize Hillary’s loss following the media lead to defy the highest position in the land who people once respected. Even if Trump made mistakes, he is the President, voted in by the people, and should be respected.

First home game is in Washington DC against Baltimore early April and now the Oriole’s team VP has indicated he doesn’t want President Trump participating in a tradition missed by only one president in 100 years. Obama turned down the 2009 opener but that was because he preferred to take a trip at the time.

How a president can be so rejected from long-held American traditions is a tragedy and makes heads shake how Democrats can be so negative or even evil to turn on their President for his every move – and also for Republicans for not making more of a fuss. While Trump was never told he couldn’t throw out the first pitch he simply declined after all the negativity against him. Can’t say as I blame him. But, it’s a crying shame the extremedevisiveness that is going on in our country today that won’t even let the President handle symbolic traditions

Baseball has become so ‘PC’ in recent years, especially under the new commissioner, with so many ridiculous changes to the sport like automatic intentional walks, perhaps its time for fans to really stand up or even further boycott the sport. Below is one such way to speak out

…YET STEROIDS STILL APPEAR PROMINENT IN SPORT

With nine indictments in 2016 for performance enhancing drugs, it was the largest number since drug testing began in 2005. Wny would anyone believe the past two commissioners who believe that steroids have been cleaned up from baseball? Meanhwhile, Commissioner Warren is concerned about all these other superficial changes to baseball that are altering the real character of the game, yet steroids, or PEDs, have been all but ignored – even accepted by all parties including MLB, the media and most fans (except those who have led to the notable stall in baseball attendance growth the past six years

First time baseball attendance has fallen off over a significant period of time, i.e. 10 years going way back.

This year, in addition to Ramirez and Morse there is a Chris Merrero, who hit eight homers in spring training in only a few dozen at bats -as many as anyone in

spring training (Brfyce Harper is the only OTHER one who did it) – despite a .232 average and never hitting a homer in 139 pervious major leagues at bat. If that

doesn’t shout PEDs I don’t know what does. Only the Giants would keep a player like this with little experience or record over several other experience players

with better past records; the Giants LOOK FOR those off-color ‘LIGHTNING IN BOTTLE’ PLAYERS, more often than not. Duffy and Panik did it a couple years,

coming from nowhere to play over their heads, only to be scuffling now as MLB drug testing tightens.

All Giant outfielders have had unusual, unlikelly numbers the Giants, possibly indicative of PED use. Gorkys Hernanez , though in limited play last year, had his

best year ever, since coming to San Francisco, hitting 50 points higher than his career average; he only hit two homers but that was as many as he’d hit in

pervious years with many more at bats in smaller , easier-to-hit ball parks. Denard Span, in his mid-30s hit more homers, 11, with the Giants than he’d ever hit

in his previous 10 years of ball. In his short time with the Giants, Jarred Parker has hit both for average (.347) with the Giants (2015) and power (both 2015-

2016) in limited at bats. Though Hunter Pence is starting slow, he’s managed to have his best years as a giant, which off-the-charts post seassons both 2012

and 2014.

As usual, players come up to the Giants and usually seem to have better stats with rare exception. The Giants have never had a great farm system but, instead,

have depended on ‘help’ from external sources for their success, culminating in 2010-2014. Though they never won one with Bonds, he got them going and , in

liberal San Francisco, where anything goes, including the ever-present scent of marijuana in the stands, the Giants have no problem winning at any cost – and

they’ve managed to waste a lot of money on players like Matt Cain and Barry Zeto and Tim Lincecum with lesser names performing better at a fraction of the

cost. We’re living in an era where nobody seems to care-especially in San Francisco, where much is made of saber-metrics at times, but then all but ignored at

other teams if a player is doing well for no good reason. So , in 2017 look to at least one or two of a handful of players to come from nowhere to once again but

a mediocre Giants team on the map, thanks to the Giants long history begun in the Balco era, No doubt some of this may go on in other cities, too, with the

Giants lead, but never to the extent where it’s powered the Giants (27 known PED users and counting) – and with nothing seriously being done about drugs in

baseball, the beat goes on in America’s most liberal city and others. Now that we know that at least SEVEN KNOWN Giants were likely users of PEDs during

their three World Series years, it is our belief that they wouldn’t have one any of them without then=m.

Now 28 players since Barry Bonds and seven during the World Series years (with the new addition of Aubrey Huff), far more than any other team. Do you have any favorite PED players or think like us, that PEDs should not be a part of the game and MLB and teams have not been doing enough to try to remove PEDs from the game.
